Lithium was the med that made me want to kill myself,however that's awesome they can have a better idea from a dna test. I will consider it. Do you miss the "high, highs?"

Well, to be quite honest, I stopped taking my meds for about a year now. I work a very labor intensive job outside, so I get plenty of good endorphins and vitamin D to help with my mood. When I sense mania coming, I take a seroquel that knocks me out so I sleep through the mania. If you stop the mania, you won't get super depressed. Once you start to understand how bipolar works, you can start understanding how yours works and you can learn to control it or prepare yourself for a low cycle.
Eating healthy, staying active, and being outside can help DRAMATIALLY.

I get depressed fairly easily but once I make concious the thought that is bringing me down I come out of it pretty quickly as the thought usually turns out to be bogus. easy come easy go.

Well if you're ever having a hard time, or feeling suicidal, and want to talk, hit me up man!
I tend to be on here in the morning, and at night, but am always down to chat with a shroomy brother.

I always thought "the scream" always did depression well. How your perception of the world literally changes because of it. In the authors case he saw a blood red sky and just had a panic attack and started screaming. Then of course drew what saw.

@ OP
No, not really. I'm inclined towards contentment, and can deal with negative circumstances fairly well.
If there's no reason to be down, I won't be, but there often are reasons

I used be depressed as a teenager when i was drinking alcohol all day every day but now im only depressed when something really serious happens. Psychs definitely helped me a lot especially ayahuasca. Its a godsend.

Every day man. I mean some days are better than others, but its something that I will have to cope with for the rest of my life I imagine. Thats not to say I'm never happy tho. I can be happy or have a good times, but will always have that feeling in the back of my head or just try to block it and tell myself its not real, that I am just causing myself to feel that way.

Horrible, horrible thread. But it's not my job to stick to you people that you're not bipolar.
Short version:
There are rapid cyclers who experience 6-8 episodes a year, and this is the most disabling form of bipolarity, which developes over years. Every mood swing with a higher frequency of that is by definition not being bipolar.
MushyMatt is a perfect example. Mania doesn't come visit for 24 hours, it creeps up and builds up over weeks and usually stays months just like the depressions. Being outside eating healthy are things a proper cycle gives a shit about. You can not "stop the mania" or "prepare for a low cycle" - its more like a bulldozer coming your way. If it's not, well, then you are not bipolar.
And dont fucking buy Lithium salts on the internet! Its toxic and accumulates so slowly, you will freaking kill yourself with it! Levels need to be measured precisely and offen.

Every 3-4 days, sometime more often mainly because of depersonalisation and the fact that i cant take drugs to numb the pain and depression (psychedelics and weed) since it make depersonalisation worst
Started taking an SSRI im on day 3 hope it will help. Got nothing to lose anyway

ruaware said: I'm realizing more and more that the things i think are unique to me or uncommon to most people, are actually much more common than i thought. Sometimes it really surprises me.
So on average, every 2 - 3 weeks ill get to a point where im very depressed for about 3 - 4 days. This has been happening at this frequency for a few years at least, maybe longer but i dont remember. For the past few months it's been worse, now its every 1 - 2 weeks and it lasts a bit longer, 5-10 days. It's like its guaranteed to happen, and no matter how perfect my life is at the happy period, after a certain amount of time i WILL find something to make me sad. Usually during that bad period, im constantly thinking bad thoughts, about quitting in whatever im doing because i cant make it, a lot of negativity. It always feels like I'll never get better but i always do, reminds me of tripping. And every now and again those periods have suicidal thoughts, but this is rare.
So, is this more common than i think? This happen to you guys too? You might have to really think about it, i didn't notice it this distinctly until I really paid attention.
Yup. Happens all the fucking time, just learned to live with it, or keep trying to. Have low mood MOST the time but 4-5 times a year will have a couple of weeks at a time of being too fucking miserable to move, eat, wash etc, which makes things worse. Just came out of one of the worst episodes I have ever had, always amazes me that it can still get worse..
Been happening to some extent for nearly 30 years, and I am under 40.. Always passes, so just hang tough as the kids say.
me if shit ever gets s00per dark and ya need to unload on someone who ain't gonna judge you or call the paramedics etc, I have had police called several times over the years, been locked up for being depressed, real helpful, point being I know it can be scary to tell people you know.
